U11C vs Solihull, 99-77 Win

It was a sunny afternoon for the U11C girls’ final cricket match all together. We won the toss and decided to field first. There was strong bowling and fielding from our girls, not allowing Solihull to score many runs. Despite her nerves going in, Yiran’s bowling was much improved, and she gave away very little during her over. We took 3 wickets in total through a bowled by Emma, and 2 run outs after quick thinking and throwing in the field from Siyona and Sofia respectively.

It was then our turn to bat. We needed 48 runs to win without losing wickets. Our girls played well, hitting the slower balls to make runs and defending where needed. Solihull matched our 3 wickets; however, we scored many more boundaries. Zahra put in a good performance using a sweep to the left effectively, Amelia and Siyona scored 2 4s each, Emily and Sofia scored a 4 a piece, and Mary put in a very strong performance, hitting 3 of her 6 balls for 4. After all of this, Hallfield scored a total of 84 runs, plus the 15 bonus runs for taking 3 wickets during our fielding which meant our girls were victorious with a 99-77 win. Emily was voted as bowler of the game and Mary was batter of the game. A wonderful high to finish on and lots of confidence as the girls progress to secondary school. Well done!
